User defined ones for fingerings. I guess you must be able to add these to the keypad (though i cannot find how), but work flow would still be at least twice as slow as Finale. In Finale to enter fingering numbers (positioned a standard distance to the left of the notehead) I have metatools programmed so that each number takes just one click on the notehead while holding down a key. The articulation is right near the cursor so dragging is easy as is nudging with cursor keys if either are necessary. It looks like Sibelius requires clicking on the keypad plus clicking on the note - at least twice as slow. The documentation with the demo is extremely skimpy, as shown by my having to ask all of these questions here. The real user manual does not seem to be available to download. In my case, and I would guess for other Finale users exploring a possible switch, this was not a smart marketing move. I will tell Sibelius. So, in spite of downloading and trying the demo I am far from persuaded to buy Sibelius, even though I am sick of Finale's direction and policies and would very much like to find something better.
